is wishy-washy due to its self-doubt, self-criticism, and in-
decisive traits. Many things become elusive to the nega-
tive 3 due to the outlook it holds; “True happiness has
always been elusive because I’m so self-conscious.” In the
positive, the intelligent, imaginative, and inspirational 3 is curious about that which appears to be elusive; “I’ve always had a fascination for the mysterious and elusive
things in life. Makes life exciting and an adventure!”

heart feels empty inside after the way he left.” In the posi-
tive, the 7 is forever the truth-seeker, wanting to reveal the deeper meaning in all things; “I need to uncover why I’m
still feeling so empty inside, despite the great promotion I
just received.”

“Excessive” vibrates to the 3, the intellectual number of imagination, memory, and inspiration. The 3
also represents unity or coming together. The negative 3
is very familiar with being excessive and is frequently
guilty of over-the-top self-doubt and self-criticism as
well as being overly critical of others; “That’s a bit exces-
sive, don’t you think? There’s a time and a place for such
inappropriate behavior, and it’s not here.” The positive 3
is also known for being excessive in terms of imaginative
and inspirational energy. The 3 is often called the bipolar

excited when it comes to new ideas.”

critical and judgmental 6 points out the flaw like the ele-
phant in the room; “It’s a great plan, but I see just one
minor flaw with the strategy.” In the positive, the

“Frustration” vibrates to the 8, the number of wisdom, independence, confidence, and manifestation. As
the most active soul-plane number, 8 has a direct link to
the spiritual realm, creating a sense of wholeness and
completeness. As the independent number, the negative 8
tends to suffer from episodes of frustration, especially in
situations where it is smothered or apprehended; “She
causes me such frustration when she won’t hear me out.”

whatever is causing the feeling of frustration is either
temporary or for a deeper purpose; “There’s frustration
at the office now but things will smooth out once the new
employees settle in.”

Grief (9)
Meaning:
“Grief ” vibrates to the 9, the ambitious, idealistic, responsible humanitarian number. The 9 is responsible
for all the incredible achievements seen in the previous
century; everyone born between 1889 and 1999 had at
least one 9 in their date of birth. The 9 is the most active
mental number, the highest change vibration, and consid-
ered the “big dreamer.” In the negative, “grief ” is misera-
ble and full of anguish from the self-imposed idealistic
limitations set by viewing the situation through the nar-
row-minded, black-and-white, negative 9 vibration; “He
gave her grief for not having it done to his specifications.”
In the positive, the softener and less judgmental humani-
tarian 9 comes through, changing the misery of the nega-
tive grief into a hopeful scenario that will pass soon; “I’m
feeling grief now, but I know it’s just temporary as a part
of loss.”
Positive: humanitarian, ambitious, responsible, jus-
tice-seeking, idealistic, and unselfish.
Negative: driven, opinionated, judgmental, critical, black
and white, and narrow-minded.

“guilt” plays the blame game, focused on passing judg-
ment and being critical of actions of the individual or
others; “I carry a sense of guilt from not telling her how
I really felt before she died.” In the positive, you are able
to see past the guilt and view the bigger picture through
the visionary energy of the 6; “I’m releasing my feelings
of guilt about this situation because I know it really
didn’t have anything to do with my actions.”

of the 4, creating an obstacle when there really isn’t one;
“It’s just too hard, I can’t do it!” In the positive, the en-
during, progressive, and stable energies of the 4 trans-
form “hard” into something that is tough but not
unbreakable; “This course is hard work, but nothing I
can’t handle.”

Hassle (1)
Meaning:
“Hassle” vibrates to the number 1, with the isolated pioneer, new beginnings, and trailblazing energy.
The 1 is the only number not divisible by any other
number so it is a stand-alone energy. “Hassle” in the
negative wears the self-absorbed and single-focused 1 en-
ergy; “It’s too much of a hassle for me to be bothered
with their nonsense.” In the positive, to the pioneering,
determined, and ambitious 1, nothing is too much of a
hassle; “As much as it’s a hassle, I know it’s a part of the
plan and needs to be done to get there.”
Positive: verbal self-expression, initiate, action, ambi-
tious, determined, and pioneering.
Negative: aggressive, egocentric, overly driven, self-ab-
sorbed, overachieving, and single-focused.
Hate (7)
Meaning:
“Hate” vibrates to the 7, the deep, philosophical, teaching and learning, truth-seeker energy. In the negative, when you think, speak, or write “hate,” it is compa-
rable to being energetically stripped bare. It is a volatile
inner-change vibration, revealing much truth about the
object of “hate”; “I hate you!” In the positive, “hate” is
softened as it is able to draw from the deeper wisdom
and truth of the 7; “I’ve come to realize I don’t hate her;
it’s just her behavior that’s challenging at times.”
Positive: wise, contemplative, achiever, truth-seeking, de-
termined, and hands-on.
Negative: stubborn, overactive, distrustful, hesitant,

Helpless (6)
Meaning:
“Helpless” vibrates to the 6, the number of creativity, the nurturer, and the visionary. In the negative,
“helpless” is working through the people-pleasing and
pessimistic energy of the 6. When you feel helpless, you
feel powerless to make a change. Being the people-pleas-
ing pessimist, it is easy to feel helpless because you are not able to see the bigger picture; “I feel so helpless to change
this relationship but I don’t want to hurt him.” In the pos-
itive, “helpless” is seen in a wider view through the lens
of the visionary 6 vibration; “There’s no need to feel help-
less in this situation; you have all the help you need to
move forward.”
Positive: creative visionary, certainty, balanced, nurtur-
ing, peace-making, optimistic, and forward-thinking.
Negative: pessimistic, judgmental, critical, worry-wart,
people-pleasing, doubtful, and gossipy.
Hesitate (6)
Meaning:
“Hesitate” vibrates to the 6, the number of creativity, the nurturer, and the visionary. Taking on the
doubtful and pessimistic energies of the negative 6, “hesi-
tate” is uncertain or unwilling to move forward; “I hesi-
tate to speak my mind in those meetings because I’m not
sure how they’ll respond to my assertiveness.” In the pos-
itive, the visionary 6 steps forward to clear the clouds for a better view of what is best in the bigger picture; “I’m not
going to hesitate this time; I know it has to be said.”
Positive: creative visionary, certainty, balanced, nurtur-
ing, peace-making, optimistic, and forward-thinking.
Negative: pessimistic, judgmental, critical, worry-wart,
people-pleasing, doubtful, and gossipy.

Hinder (4)
Meaning:
“Hinder” vibrates to the 4, the solid, stable, practical, and balanced foundation number. “Hinder” means to
hold back or delay. The impatience factor associated with
the negative 4 vibration gives “hinder” its creative ability
to manifest obstacles and fabricate excuses; “Whenever I
try to get this done, something always comes up to hinder
my progress.” In the positive, the enduring and progres-
sive energies of the positive 4 gives “hinder” a means to
overcome obstacles; “Nothing is going to hinder me from
making it all the way through this course.”
